Just as the title says, how do i pass array<string>& to a function?
I have this function defined in anglescript and I have other script functions calling it. However, it is failing to compile with this message: unit-spec.as (5,25) : ERR : Expeted ">" or ","
bool stringInList( array<string>& arg, string s )
{
for( uint n = 0; n < arg.length(); n++ )
{
if( arg[n] == s )
return true;
}
return false;
}
This is the correct way to declare a function that takes an array reference as input and output. It shouldn't be a problem compiling this. It's possible that you've stumbled on a bug in AngelScript, however I'm not able to recreate any problem with just this script sample.
What version of AngelScript are you using?
Are you using any non-default options in your application, e.g. asEP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_REFERENCES?
Are you using namespaces?
I'm using version 2.26
I am not using any non default options, I have not touched these at all.
I am using a namespace but it is for another piece of code.
This code is in a separate file and it is being included in another file.
Though you don't want to use the repository version yet, would it be possible for you to just give it a try to see if it fixes the problem you're having? There hasn't been any changes to the interface so it should just be a matter of recompiling your app with the new header (to get the right ANGELSCRIPT_VERSION).
Ok I found out that I forget to register the array types, so I did that. The function is compiling, however I cant it.
I have the following code that I call the function from:
array<string> gEngineRPMUnits = { "stall-rpm","start-rpm","idle-rpm","redline-rpm","max-rpm" };
string VerifyEngineUnitSpec( string attribute, string unitSpec )
{
// local
// string result;
// check for rpm
if( stringInList(gEngineRPMUnits,attribute) )
{
// unit has to be rpm, rps, rad/s
if( unitSpec!="revolution" )
return "error";
else
return unitSpec;
}
return "";
}
Is this valid?
Yes. this is valid code.
Perhaps you could share what problem you're facing? Are you getting compiler errors? Or is the code not behaving as you expect?
